...and another hail shower starts up.  Quite heavy this one, should last 5-10 minutes according to the latest radar.

Lol the only bit that's in the green.

[severe snowstorm]

Looks like we are about to get hammered with hail/snow shortly. Given the time of day now, anything that settles might just stick around till morning and hopefully lay the foundation for further top ups tonight.

[Backtrack]

Haven't had a shower here for about an hour and a half now!!

[northwestsnow]

Snow!!

Not sticking tho..

 

[Mokidugway]

I never believe charts ,just what occurrs 

[shadowfax]

The next shower has hit now and this is all snow if this carries on we'll actually have a proper covering.

[Chris harry]

Hope this coming in from iom heading towards blackpool makes it to me in tameside 

[jam2010]

Now it's turned to snow but the sun is coming out so short lived but a good sign.

A video I took an hour ago. 

 

[severe snowstorm]

Torrential hail and snow!

[Darren Bown]

Drying up nicely. Anything that might fall this evening, could settle.

[northwestsnow]

All about the next 3or4 hours really..we need a train of showers to get any covering.

[Chris harry]

Very fine hail at moment but it' settling. The sky looks full of it. Hope it turns to heavy snow.

Wind vectors should shove the showers our way until about 3am-ish.

[Mokidugway]

Whiteout earlier has largely gone .

[Darren Bown]

It’s unlikely that anything that’ll fall will stick around past rush hour tomorrow, but it’ll be nice to see!

[WillinGlossop]

Heavy snow again....settling again.... 0c feels like -9c.....brrrrr....fire on, pork in oven....well done Newcastle....

[dodge]

Really snow scene now with proper flakes of snow instead of ice pellets or hail.  Still very wet on the ground, so will need to keep going overnight to have any chance of a decent settling.

[frosty ground]

Dusting of snow here temps approaching 0 but still on the wrong sidr for the time being.... radar shows morr showers heading this way

Yeah, melting very quickly between showers still here. Temperatures are surely moving down towards zero now so hopefully snow will start to settle and survive on the ground soon.

[Day 10]

Still cold and dry, another waste of time

[Darren Bown]

A lot is moving in from the Irish Sea currently. If it’s snow, they are falling at a max of 5mm/hour roughly, but rattling through a lot quicker than that.

Very heavy snow showers here in southport bitterly cold 

[Weather-history]

Graupel showers passing through. Not melting as quickly.
